Multiple Glacial Refugia and Complex Postglacial Dynamics of Primula sikkimensis (Primuaceae) in the Heterogeneous Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Primula sikkimensis persisted in distinct glacial refugia within the Hengduan Mountains and eastern Himalayas during the Last Glacial Maximum. Subsequent postglacial range expansions onto the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau were accompanied by secondary contact and interspecific hybridization, collectively enhancing genetic diversity and adaptive capacity. These

Genome-wide homozygosity in Maremmana cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The current availability of large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) throughout the genome makes these markers particularly suitable for the detection of patterns of genetic diversity and of genome-wide homozygosity in animal populations ...

Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This reports the influence of past, current and future Arctic climate change to the evolution of Eurasian gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus), and reveals that its current evolutionary potential is insufficient to cope with the ongoing Arctic warming. ABSTRACT Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of ...

Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Genetic Markers for Hyalomma rufipes, a Tick Vector of Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study developed and validated 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers to investigate the population genetics of Hyalomma rufipes, a tick species that transmits Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) in East Africa. Ticks collected from livestock in northern Kenya were morphologically and genetically identified, followed by genome sequencing ...

Genetic inference of population dynamics in the American pika: Identifying appropriate scales of inference within a region of declining survival [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
How species will respond to the changing climate is poorly understood, but will become increasingly important to understand as the climate changes further.

Identifying Key Biodiversity Areas Based on Distinct Genetic Diversity

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. Distinct genetic diversity has been introduced as one of the metrics to estimate whether a site holds a threshold proportion of a species' global genetic diversity during the KBA identification process.

Pathogenic Variants in Mennonites From Southern Brazil: Implications for Preventive Measures in Public Health

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 266-276, February 2026.
In 325 exomes of South Brazilian Mennonites, we identified 23 pathogenic variants (P) and 27 likely P, with founder effects identified for 96% of P, whose frequencies differed from non‐Finnish Europeans, Amish, and Brazilian populations. ABSTRACT The Mennonite population has a unique history of 500 years of genetic isolation shaped by at least three ...

Understanding evolutionary processes during past Quaternary climatic cycles: Can it be applied to the future? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Climate change affected ecological community make-up during the Quaternary which was probably both the cause of, and was caused by, evolutionary processes such as species evolution, adaptation and extinction of species and ...

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little
